Any type of horror or horrifying fiction welcomed. Supranational horror (haunted houses, vampires, zombies etc), psychological horror, fantasy / sci-fi horror, crime / real life horror - you know the sort of thing.

Have read loads of Stephen King but think ‘The Long Walk’ is one of his best (maybe not horror but definitely disturbing). House of Leaves creeped me out too.I’ve read some horrifying dystopian fiction too (e.g. The Road). Loved ‘Let the Right One In’ (vampires). So I’ve got broad tastes ...

Just ordered Dark Matter because of this thread. Will tie in nicely after just finishing The Terror so thanks.

Naomis Room or anything else by Jonathan Aycliffe. I listened to them on audiobook and freaked myself out totally.

Red Dragon.

Read it long before it was made in to a film and really spooked me.

Because it could happen.

I love The Long Walk, definitely disturbing. Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt is very scary.
